Step 1
1 cubic inch = 0.004329 gallons 1848 cubic inches = 1848 * 0.004329 = 7.999992 gallons So, the flow rate is approximately 8 GPM. Show more…

i) The power of a motor pump is 1.5 kW. How much water per minute the pump can raise to a height of 60 m?

An oil pump is drawing $44 \mathrm{kW}$ of electric power while pumping oil with $\rho=860 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ at a rate of $0.1 \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$ The inlet and outlet diameters of the pipe are $8 \mathrm{cm}$ and $12 \mathrm{cm},$ respectively. If the pressure rise of oil in the pump is measured to be $500 \mathrm{kPa}$ and the motor efficiency is 90 percent, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump.
